Doctor and Engineer Puzzle

admin · #1 (**permalink**) 05-28-2006

One of Mr. Bajaj, his wife, their son and Mr. Bajaj's mother is an Engineer and another is a Doctor.

· If the Doctor is a male, then the Engineer is a male.
· If the Engineer is younger than the Doctor, then the Engineer and the Doctor are not blood relatives.
· If the Engineer is a female, then she and the Doctor are blood relatives.

Can you tell who is the Doctor and the Engineer?

Mr Bajaj is the Engineer
His son is Doctor

This satisfies 1) as both doctor and Engineer are male
Satisfies 2) as engineer is not younger than the doctor.
Since both are males, 3 is ruled out.

I think 3 only confirms that the wife and mother are not talked about.It could have been omitted as well
